Alaan achieves ISO 27001 certification, leading the way in data security excellence

Financial data stands as one of the prime targets for cyberthreats, making the finance industry the top choice for threat actors. As digital transactions continue to rise, the security of financial information becomes a major concern for finance and accounting teams since they bear the responsibility of managing their company's financial data. A single breach can lead to substantial financial losses, damage to reputation, and legal repercussions. It is, therefore, important for businesses to choose a secure business spend management solution like Alaan.

At Alaan, where we handle substantial volumes of financial data everyday, security has been of utmost importance to us.

To address this, we've implemented robust security measures, including our ISO 27001 certification, which prides us on ensuring the highest level of information security for our customers.

‍What is ISO 27001?

‍ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard that delineates best practices for information security management. Initially published jointly by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 2005, it has undergone revisions, including the most recent one in 2022.

Achieving ISO 27001 certification entails a rigorous audit process. This process includes a comprehensive evaluation of our information security policies, procedures, and controls to ensure compliance with the standard's stringent requirements.

Audit of Alaan’s systems and processes found no exceptions to the ISO/IEC 27001 industry standards as defined by the International Organization for Standardization.
